Over the last little while, a number of you have expressed an interest in the addition of a Guest Book feature to ArtSites.us. We have now add a Guest Book feature that is included in every ArtSites.us website. On the Guestbook page, your visitors can leave a comment with their name and optionally an email address. The comments on the Guest Book page are listed with the most recent at the top.
How It Works
The Guest Book comment form is protected by the use of a picture that contains a code number that the commenter must enter. This keeps out all of the automated spam. Once a commenter has submitted their comment you will receive an that contains the comment information along with two links that can be clicked on to either approve the comment or delete it. If the comment is something that you would like to see on your website, you can approve it and it will immediately. If the comment is inappropriate for posting on your website's Guest Book page then you can just delete the comment and your other visitors will never see the comment.
The the commenter is allowed to add an email address but it won't be shown on the Guestbook page. It will show up in the administration system so that only the artist can contact the commenter.
Please let us know what you think of this feature and if you have any suggestions, we would love to hear them!
